COWBOYS & ALIENS Part 4

Unused C&A movie poster by Drew Struzan
...in 1873 Arizona, a battle between a wagon train heading for Silver City and Indians is interrupted by a crippled flying saucer crashing nearby!
The surviving aliens decide to conquer the "primitive" humans while they await rescue by their fellow space travelers.
After quickly destroying a nearby US Army outpost, they head for the nearest group of structures, Silver City...where the wagon train has just arrived!
In the ensuing battle, the cowboys, joined by the Indians they were fighting earlier, manage to drive off the aliens, who aren't as invincible as they believed.
The humans join forces against a common foe.
And they gain a new ally...an enslaved alien who has escaped from her masters...and who believes "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"!
"Maw hunters"?

COWBOYS & ALIENS Part 2

...in 1873 Arizona, gunslingers Zeke Jackson and Verity Jones are defending a wagon train heading for Silver City from Indian attack when a crippled flying saucer crashes nearby, interrupting the battle...
We don't think that's the proverbial cavalry coming over that there hill!
The mayhem continues Wednesday at
Western Comics Adventures!
Writers Fred Van Lente & Andrew Foley, penciler Luciano Lima, and inkers J Wilson, Silvio Spotto & Luciano Kars, working from a concept by Scott Rosenberg, produced a kool tale in 2006 that's quite different from the 2011 big-budget movie based on it!

Whatever Happened to The Lone Ranger?

The budget had been approved.
The script was written (and approved) by all concerned.
The stars, including Johnny Depp as Tonto, were cast.
Sets were being built in New Mexico.
Pre-production was well underway.
Then, someone at Disney yelled "STOP!"

The producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, was told he would have to cut $40 million from his already-approved budget of $250 million.
Was it because of the less-than-stellar box office for Cowboys & Aliens?
According to the LA Times: "Cowboys & Aliens made them (Disney executives) start quaking in their boots over big budgets," said Brandon Gray, creator and president of BoxOfficeMojo.com, a website that tracks worldwide ticket sales. "It was High Noon at Buena Vista."
Oddly enough, The Lone Ranger also would've been a cross-genre western, this time with werewolves (which makes sense, since silver can slay lycanthropes, and the Ranger uses silver bullets)!

Besides the location shooting in New Mexico, The Lone Ranger had reserved several soundstages at  Albuquerque Studios which, ironically, are currently being used for another big-budget Disney film; The Avengers!

Let's see what develops...
